At least eight LNG carriers were ordered in the second quarter of this year, edging the total for the first half to almost 30 vessels.
South Korea’s top shipbuilders netted all the LNG orders in the past three months, with DSME and Samsung Heavy Industries scoring three apiece and Hyundai Heavy Industries signing two contracts.
This quarter’s mystery buyer was unmasked as JP Morgan, or associates of the financier, who contracted a pair of vessels at SHI.
